Rush Limbaugh Thinks That Video of Clinton Collapse Is Fake
Mediaite ^ | September 12th, 2016 | Sam Reisman

Posted on 09/12/2016 1:01:01 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Rush Limbaugh thinks that there are two separate videos of Hillary Clinton stumbling into her car — but one of them is a fake.

Limbaugh came upon this idea apparently because the radio host does not understand that, often, pirated videos will appear on YouTube having been mirrored, or flipped, from the original source.

Limbaugh said:

In the first video, the van approaches from the left. So what they want you to believe is that they’ve simply flipped this to show you a new angle. But you can’t flip the video. I mean, you can play a video backwards, forwards, but it doesn’t change the angle you’re looking at. The footage is identical.

The second video purports to show a new angle. And this new angle shows Hillary in even greater distress, or I should say gives you a better view of the distress, than the first video. But what is intriguing to me is that nobody seems to have noticed that it can’t be the same video. How can, in one video, the van approach from the left and the door on the right side of the van open and Mrs. Clinton gets in. In the next video, same setting, but the van approaches from the right with the street being on the left of it. And then the door opens in the van, which would be the left side of the van and then Mrs. Clinton gets in.

And all of the people in the video appear to be properly placed, and they appear to be reversed, lapel pins are on the opposite lapel in the second video. It’s a really great trick, but the second video can’t be — one of the two can’t be real.

Rush called ME (all of us) A hater. Because I didn’t buy his lies about doing Schumer’s bidding. After I was a member for years, bought all his books. And he quoted me THREE times from my FR posts (without credit but I was so proud anyway). He never mentioned Obama’s “slightly used” SS number or that he doesn’t pass eVerify. He’s a loser globalist pretending to be a conservative. Maybe he believes some of conservative ideals but mostly he believes in Everything He Wants. He’s a dishonest person.

Just another Leftist slam against Conservative radio from Mediate Socialists.

No surprise, I'll grant you that. Limbaugh's an obvious target for every leftist scumbucket in the media.

The guy is probably making a mountain out of a molehill, and I've probably reacted too quickly yet again. Still - I stand by my valid criticisms of Limbaugh, like his nearly overt NeverTrumpism during the primary.

listening to him right now . Rush is saying that some ‘second video angle ‘ is just a flipped version of the original .
He is not at all saying the original vid , or angle , is fake .Not fake

I saw the second video and didn’t notice it was faked. I thought Rush was saying the “collapse” was faked. Thank you for setting it straight.

I watched both versions to look for the image of the EpiPen rolling on the ground. The reversed version seemed to have more detail. I did see the EpiPen. I am going to look at both versions again to look at it as image reversal. Again, thank you.

I don’t know if you can reverse a video left to right...

You can. Keep reading the thread.

This is embarrassing.


I agree......it’s embarrassing for Rush.

As if he couldn’t discredit himself, any more.

He’s way behind the times, these days.

They play the video in a mirror and record the image in the mirror, = flipped video.

In fact it is what Rush said.

“Is that old wind bag still on the radio..?”

There is a freeper who has been trundling out THAT EXACT PHRASE with ZERO variations for almost TWO DECADES NOW in response to ANY Rush-centric post.

He says NOTHING else at all. And ya know what? If a person has objections to Rush, even strong ones, then FINE.

But to act as if one is COMPLETELY BRAIN DEAD, well....that’s just not Freeperesque.

I have a family member that says this whole thing is being emphasized to draw attention away from the emails

Not even. Your family member should know that the Clintons are eyeball deep in scandals all over the place. It's only natural that several of them have surfaced, simultaneously, during the presidential campaign.

This article is designed to mislead, Rush clearly stated that you play the video and record it from a mirror, he said the second one out is a fake.

There's nothing nefarious afoot with that video. Someone simply mirrored it and zoomed in on the action.

But if the same individual who copied it into a mirror image was the same person who put it up on Drudge, they went out of their way to add font saying it was a, "Closeup from a different angle". I'm just sayin. Who knows.

Some of you people remind me of the torch and pitcfork villagers in an old Frankenstien movie. Rush didnt say it was fake. Good lord, the reactionarism here is embarrasing. I have some issues with Limbaugh but I listened to his whole show today and tbis false witness bs is what I would expect from the Hiilary side not ours.

I think Rush simply doesn’t realize that technology exists to flip the video. He says it can’t be flipped.

Here’s the transcript....

Now, there’s another video that purports to show a different angle. But it doesn’t. This second video has me really confused. In this video, the van approaches from the right. The purpose of the video is to show you a different angle, an angle that shows Mrs. Clinton more clearly. And in this video, the camera is much closer to the van, the van approaches as you’re watching from the right. In the first video, the van approaches from the left. So what they want you to believe is that they’ve simply flipped this to show you a new angle. But you can’t flip the video. I mean, you can play a video backwards, forwards, but it doesn’t change the angle you’re looking at. The footage is identical.

The second video purports to show a new angle. And this new angle shows Hillary in even greater distress, or I should say gives you a better view of the distress, than the first video. But what is intriguing to me is that nobody seems to have noticed that it can’t be the same video. How can, in one video, the van approach from the left and the door on the right side of the van open and Mrs. Clinton gets in. In the next video, same setting, but the van approaches from the right with the street being on the left of it. And then the door opens in the van, which would be the left side of the van and then Mrs. Clinton gets in.

And all of the people in the video appear to be properly placed, and they appear to be reversed, lapel pins are on the opposite lapel in the second video. It’s a really great trick, but the second video can’t be — one of the two can’t be real. One of the two has to be — unless somebody can explain this to me.

Limbaugh is going downhill.

For months and months, he would only reference Coughing.

He gave her the benefit of the doubt on the earpiece.

We have thousands in the Media that always give Hillary the benefit of the doubt. Limbaugh seems off and lukewarm.

He’s fallen behind.

... so why make a fake?

To troll for people like Limbaugh..., and my mother.

To try to circumvent censoring or copyright issues.

Somebody with too much time on his hands.

Somebody seeking click attention.

Etc.

...lots of people initially assumed it was taken by another cell cam from another angle because that is what the video caption on top stated.

I can understand that. I had already seen all the videos by the time Drudge posted his, so I immediately caught the mirror imaged twins.

Those who only first ran into this via Drudge, could have been confused.

LOL @ this thread, and people kneejerkingly believe whatever they read about someone else from a questionable site. I wont even explain what happened, here, going to come back here every once in a while to see when, or if, the majority understand what Rush ACTUALLY said... I see a few knowledgeable have trickled on to the thread...
